SO Emilee is pretty sure the baby is laying spread eagle in her belly. At least she says that's the way it feels after she eats. Apparently the increase in Emilee's appetite has not been met with a warm welcome by little Umfufu. All is quiet until Em is polishing off that last bite of Molten Chocolate Lava Cake and then the acrobatics begin. I will say it has made it more interesting for me. I get to feel everything that is going on now. You can even see her belly jump when Anna Grace kicks! Pretty Cool!
And in the "I know I am going to hell for this" category; it's fun to watch Emilee drop stuff. I know I am probably a bad person, but it is very entertaining watching her try to pick things up off of the ground. It is funny because she often forgets that she can't just bend straight over to pick it up and then she has to correct herself and maneuver around to get whatever she dropped. In the process of doing this she looses sight of the object and then has to grope for it. Like I said, I am probably going to hell.
Speaking of going to hell.....
- How does anyone sink to the level of this Phillip Garrido asshole? He's the guy that kidnapped the 11 year old girl and then made her his sex slave for 18 years. Why is this guy allowed to live long enough to stand trial?
- What kind of people stand and watch as a 15 year old girl gets gang-raped for two hours? What kind of soulless world are we living in, and did it go to hell overnight? They were afraid of being SNITCHES! WTF was going on in the raising of these kids?
- And what about the slew of teachers having sex with students, priests molesting children, and the dozens of busts for child pornography every week?
Back onto happy thoughts now. We hit 26 weeks today which on some calendars is the last week of the 2nd trimester. A quick question, why is it this way on some calendars? Why is there not agreement across the board? If anyone has an answer for me I would love to hear it. Anyway, the 26 week old fetus development update is brought to us by BabyCenter.com.
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. She's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of her lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she's born and takes that first gulp of air. And she's continuing to put on baby fat. She now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel.
I want to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers. Very soon we will be able to talk about her as a baby! I look forward to her meeting you all.
Stay Safe,
Rob
You and Emilee should know that you are not alone in your concerns. This world is scary as hell! You just have to trust your judgement. NO ONE ELSES! Trust that you are giving Anna the knowledge she needs to protect herself. Ginny is 9. My stomach still flips when she gets out of my site for 2 seconds in Wal-Mart. When we were her age...we were runnin around the neighborhood. Home by the time the street lights came on. Times sure have changed!
ReplyDeleteThe world has always been "scary". Where have you guys been? Maybe it is just that now you see things you ignored before. The goggles of parenthood can do that to you.
ReplyDeleteEvil is not new. If you think it is, you have definitely been hiding in a cave somewhere.
On another note, if you keep talking about Em like that, you are going to see just what kind of boat she makes from the heavy crib. Of course, that would be just before you don't see anything.
PS. It is already a baby.
